How fast is your bow in the real world?

[babyishcare]

The IBO standard quickly gained acceptance, mainly because consumers simply didn't understand the difference between the two rating systems. If you started talking about all the kinetic energy a high AMO rating portends, all but the most informed would shake their head and beg you to keep it simple. Consumers assume that when manufacturers give a complex answer, they're usually seeking to deceive. /

285 fps with a 508gr arrow. That's not the average setup though.

Headhunter you must have a 30" draw and 350 ibo

I like to shoot a fast bow not to sling light arrows at fast speeds but to shoot heavier arrows 280 fps +. My Hoyt Nitrum Turbo shoots a 450 grain arrow 285 fps.

My Mathews is shooting a 420gr arrow at 270fps and have no trouble getting pass throughs as long as I do my part.

you are pretty close. Only thing i have to adjust to is my brace height is short, 6", so that has taken some practice, but I shoot as good with this bow as I have with any other bow I have ever owned. It is for sure quick and best is it is quiet.

I don't know how fast mine is, but I bet it's faster than these guy's

I am always amazed how many guys sell their 1 to 2 year old bow to get a little faster. Mine does the job well enough

My '17 Hoyt Carbon defiant at 28.5' draw. 73lbs. with a 415 grain arrow chrono'd at 278fps. I zipped a 2" shwacker straight through the antelope and the whitetail I shot in Montana in September. The lightness and the maneuverability as well as smooth draw attracted me to the bow and it shoots good groups out to 80
